Available for two years, Google Earth will support all of Chromium-based browser

Google today announced that Google Earth Web version will eventually support all the other Chromium-based browsers. The company today announced the news on the blog post .

Previously used Google is Native Client (NaCl) technology, is limited to the Google Chrome browser. The company has now added support for WebAssembly, it will support all of Chromium-based browser.

However, only Chrome supports WebAssembly multi-threaded, which means that there is a performance difference between Google and other browsers. The good news is that does support WebGL-based Chromium's Edge, compared with the classic Edge and other browsers, Edge's performance will be better.

Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome, Chromium Edge and the upcoming Opera-all support WebAssembly (some of which have multi-threading, others do not). Once a new version of Chromium-based Edge release, WebAssembly the application works in Edge of the application in Chrome the same.

Firefox browser WebAssembly provides good support, but because of SharedArrayBuffer problem, had to disable support for multithreading. Although Opera based on Chromium, but the current version of Opera only supports a single thread of WebAssembly. Safari has a powerful WebAssembly achieve, but its lack of full support for WebGL2.

On the other hand, Mozilla working on multi-threading support. Mozilla, Google and other companies removed sharedraybuffer, to prevent users from collapse and the specter of attacks. Google Chrome has brought to the site for the isolation of the support to prevent collapse and the specter, and enabled sharedaraybuffer in the process. Firefox is currently no site isolation, it is not currently running sharedraybuffer.

However, Mozilla is committed to providing support for the isolation of the site, which should allow them to start sharedraybuffer and support WebAssembly multi-threaded.
